Human access and time of day affect the behavior (movement rate, selection) of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos) near recreation sites in a protected area. Males used trails to travel during crepuscular and nocturnal hours, especially in restricted areas, whereas females showed more cautious responses, suggesting security trade‐offs.

We analyzed sika deer density trends over 27 years in 256 mesh‐units in Hokkaido, Japan. High‐density areas saw sharp declines, while low‐density areas remained stable. Prioritizing management in high‐density areas can improve overall control efficiency. Abstract Population reduction through hunting and nuisance control has been practiced in many parts

ABSTRACT Ecosystem services (ES) play a crucial role in sustainable development. We systematically assessed the spatial and temporal dynamics of ecosystem service supply (ES‐s) and demand (ES‐d) in China from 1990 to 2020 by using a supply–demand matrix integrated with land use/cover data. The findings indicate that in 2020, grasslands accounted for 28.

Hydrological seasonality is a major driver of ecosystem metabolism in tropical nonwadeable rivers
Abstract Studies of annual patterns of ecosystem metabolism in rivers have primarily been conducted in temperate ecosystems, and little is known about metabolic regimes of tropical rivers. We estimated ecosystem metabolism in four nonwadeable rivers in southern México that varied in size and the extent of human disturbance.

Abstract The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in rivers is influenced by carbonate weathering, soil CO2, photosynthesis, and the mineralization of dissolved organic carbon (DOC). In tropical regions, elevated temperatures intensify these processes. However, their seasonal dynamics remain poorly understood in large karst‐draining rivers.
